Getting Involved

Who can take part in the project?

Many different people are needed to make the project a success. These include:

• Artists: We are in great need of Oxygen-style actions icons and Oxygen-style application icons for Blinken, KTurtle, KAlgebra, Step and KVerbos. Please contact the kde-edu mailing-list for more information.
• Designers: To design the overall interface of an application, to give consistency in the project so the child could switch from math to languages and find the same sort of interface.
• Web Designers: Our website could do with some improvements!
• Developers: Both beginners and more experienced developers are welcomed -- everyone should be able to find a suitable project. For a start you can have a look at our currently open Junior Jobs for KDE 4.1.
• Musicians: For sound and music in some applications as well as recorded voice sounds. Please contact the kde-edu mailing-list for more information.
• Parents and teachers: Feedback is needed to to tell us what is needed, how could it be done, to test alpha and beta versions and to help with the content, etc.
• Children: Children, will, of course be required to help test the software. They can also tell us their ideas.

New programs for new developers
